Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Association of electrocardiogram findings with clinical outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome: an analysis of the ISCHEMIA trials.
We aimed to investigate the association of electrocardiogram (ECG) findings with outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome. ⋯ In patients with chronic coronary syndrome, an abnormal ECG tracing was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death. Our findings underscore the importance of the ECG in cardiovascular risk stratification and prognostication.
